<!--paging_filter--><p class="p1"><img src="/files/u297092/united.jpg" width="620" height="248" /></p><p class="p1">Back in March, United Airlines announced that it would be updating both its iOS app and fleet to allow travelers to <a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/news/united_airlines_let_travelers_stream_select_media_iphones_ipads_free">view free movies and television shows</a> while connected to its Wi-Fi network. Today, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id449945214?mt=8">the app update went through</a> to complete that process.</p><p class="p1">Using United’s app, passengers will be able to view more than 150 movies and nearly 200 TV shows in the air when on planes that offer Wi-Fi access. It’s unclear whether you’ll need to pay for the Wi-Fi access to view media, or if simply connecting to the network will enable the service.</p><p class="p1">The service was expected to reach Airbus A319 and 320 and Boeing 747-400 and 777-200 planes first before spreading to other fleet models. Those with upcoming flights can check for availability under the Amenities tab on the app (or the Inflight Amenities section on <a href="http://www.united.com" target="_blank">united.com</a>) within 48 hours before takeoff.</p><p class="p1">United says that laptop users can also access the service — we imagine pointing your browser towards united.com should help start that process — while an Android app update will bring the service to that platform later this year.</p>http://www.maclife.com/article/news/united_airlines_app_update_allows_free_media_streaming_flights#commentsNewsflightFlyingiOSiPadiphoneiPod and iPhoneiPod touchmediamoviestelevisiontravelunited airlinesiPadiPhoneiPodWed, 07 May 2014 22:26:48 +0000Andrew Hayward19913 at http://www.maclife.comSouthwest Airlines Now Offers iMessage Pass for $2 Per Dayhttp://www.maclife.com/article/news/southwest_airlines_now_offers_imessage_pass_2_day
<!--paging_filter--><p>It wasn't that long ago that having Wi-Fi on an airplane felt impossibly futuristic, but as the program settles into maturity, airlines have begun expanding their offerings to cater to specific passengers' needs. One of the most intriguing examples comes from Southwest Airlines, reports <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2013/12/11/southwest-airlines-offering-in-flight-imessaging-for-2-per-day/" target="_blank">MacRumors</a>, which is now offering iOS users the chance to spend $2.00 to send iMessages throughout the flight if they don't want to spend the eight bucks needed for the full-access Wi-Fi services.</p><p>In the words of Southwest, "Any Apple user that has iOS 5 or later with the iMessage feature pre-loaded on their device can take advantage of this option. Now you can stay powered up and connected to friends and family like you never left the ground."</p><p><img src="/files/u334114/2013/12/imessagesouthwest.jpg" /></p><p><strong>Source: <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2013/12/11/southwest-airlines-offering-in-flight-imessaging-for-2-per-day/" target="_blank">MacRumors</a></strong></p><p>The idea is to grant access to users who're only interested in chatting with friends or business colleagues during the flight rather than surfing the web. As such, it seems like an unspoken way of getting around the growing demand for <a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/news/fcc_considers_allowing_voice_calls_cellular_data_use_flights" target="_blank">phone calls in flight </a>in the wake of the<a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/news/faa_officially_loosens_restrictions_iphone_and_ipad_use_during_flights" target="_blank"> loosened FAA regulations </a>without letting certain passengers ruin the flight for everyone else by yakking the entire time.</p><p>Keep in mind that you can't find Wi-Fi on every Southwest flight, but the airline does offer a <a href="http://www.southwest.com/wifi/" target="_blank">Wi-Fi finder</a> on its website so you can see if you can take advantage of the offer the next time you travel the popular airline. And remember--just spend the full eight bucks, and you'll get access to iMessages <em>and </em>the Internet as a whole.</p><p><em> <em>Follow this article's writer,<a href="https://twitter.com/LeifJohnson" target="_blank">&nbsp;Leif Johnson</a>, on Twitter.</em></em></p>http://www.maclife.com/article/news/southwest_airlines_now_offers_imessage_pass_2_day#commentsNewsairlinesairplaneschatflightiMessageiOS 7iPadiphonetravelThu, 12 Dec 2013 01:17:44 +0000Leif Johnson18846 at http://www.maclife.comSouthwest Airlines, Dish Team Up to Offer Free Loaner iPads on Select Flightshttp://www.maclife.com/article/news/southwest_airlines_dish_team_offer_free_loaner_ipads_select_flights
<!--paging_filter--><p>Looks like you'll be able to get much more than peanuts the next time you fly on Southwest Airlines. As reported by <a href="http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/10/29/southwest-dish-to-provide-passengers-in-flight-entertainment-via-apples-ipad-2" target="_blank">AppleInsider</a>, the popular American low-cost airline announced an extension of its relationship with Dish Network today that would put an iPad 2 in the hands of any traveler who wishes to use one for select flights.</p><p>"Select" being the key word here. According to the report, the only flights that support the offer fly between Chicago's Midway airport and Denver and Oakland. The process itself is comparatively simple. Just pick up a an iPad 2 at the Dish kiosk at one of the three airports, and then you'll return it at the corresponding kiosk at one of the others.</p><p><img src="/files/u334114/2013/10/ipaddish.jpg" width="620" height="348" /></p><p><strong>Source: <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57591952-93/flying-southwest-with-your-ipad-watch-dish-for-free/" target="_blank">Cnet</a></strong></p><p>Surprisingly, all this comes at no cost to the traveler. The promotion itself is called "TV Flies Free," and each iPad will allow passengers on the Wi-Fi-enabled flights to watch on-demand content and live programs for no cost. Indeed, even borrowing the device itself won't incur any additional charges. A version of the promotion has been in place since July, but until now it was limited to letting customers watch programs on their own devices.</p><p>The move by Dish and Southwest represents a small part of a wider trend that sees tablets becoming an essential part of the flying experience. We've seen in the past how airlines like Qantas and <a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/news/hawaiian_airlines_replace_some_inflight_entertainment_systems_ipad_minis" target="_blank">Hawaiian Airlines</a> have used iPads and iPad minis as entertainment devices for their passangers, and many other airlines like American and United have switched out the bulky flight manuals of the past for the convenience of Apple's signature tablet.</p><p><em>Follow this article's writer, <a href="https://twitter.com/LeifJohnson" target="_blank">Leif Johnson</a>, on Twitter.</em></p>http://www.maclife.com/article/news/southwest_airlines_dish_team_offer_free_loaner_ipads_select_flights#commentsNewsairlineflightiPadiPad 2SouthwesttravelWi-FiTue, 29 Oct 2013 21:02:16 +0000Leif Johnson18477 at http://www.maclife.comFAA Committee Recommends Easing Laws for In-Flight Electronicshttp://www.maclife.com/article/news/faa_committee_recommends_easing_laws_inflight_electronics
<!--paging_filter--><p>In a victory for the impatient (or merely bored), a 28-member committee from the Federal Aviation Administration has recommended that airline passengers should be allowed to use smartphones, tablets, e-readers, and similar electronic devices during takeoffs and landings.</p><p>That doesn't mean that the airlines will allow the full capabilities of the phone or other device; as reported by <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-500395_162-57604908/faa-panel-backs-easing-electronic-device-use-on-planes/" target="_blank">CBS</a>, "downloading data, surfing the Web and talking on the phone would still be prohibited." In other words, the committee is recommending that you be allowed to perform every action allowed by your iPhone or iPad on "Airplane Mode," which in iOS 7 is accessible in the Control Center with a simple swipe of the finger. This means being able to read e-books, listen to music, or even playing games while taxiing and taking off and landing.</p><p><img src="/files/u334114/2013/09/ipadpilot.jpg" /></p><p><strong>Source: <a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/30/f-a-a-rules-make-electronic-devices-on-planes-dangerous/?_r=0" target="_blank">New York Times</a></strong></p><p>That's nice, but the "better safe than sorry" approach taken by airlines up until now seems aimed at making sure passengers aren't transmitting signals under 10,000 feet since there's no noninvasive way to tell if they aren't. The ban has always been aimed at making sure no wireless transmissions interfere with the airline's systems, although modern planes are said to be designed with such safeguards in mind. As <a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/news/ipads_reach_cruising_altitude_pilots_replace_manuals_apps" target="_blank">we reported back in 2011</a>, even pilots for multiple airlines tend to use iPads for manuals instead of the bulky 40-pound flight bags of yesterday.</p><p>A recommendation doesn't mean that the measure is now in place, so don't expect to get on a plane this evening and be able to watch Ylvis' <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofNR_WkoCE" target="_blank">"The Fox"</a> while taking off. (And yes, <a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/30/f-a-a-rules-make-electronic-devices-on-planes-dangerous/?_r=0" target="_blank">you can get arrested</a> for this kind of thing.) On the bright side, the FAA itself created the panel and is expected to make a decision based on the recommendation at an unknown point in the future.

<!--paging_filter--><p>If Cold War is any indication, the Sky Gamblers series may have reached maximum altitude with last year's stellar Storm Raiders. Sure, there's still plenty of high-flying dogfighting action to be found in this latest entry, but there's a legitimate question as to whether this fourth outing on iOS is running on fumes after so many entries in a relatively compact span of time. Thankfully, Cold War does bring some fresh ideas to the table, and the online multiplayer still provides the best aerial combat on the App Store. But the core campaign experience of Cold War is a bland and tired-looking stroll through what is an otherwise fascinating portion of American history.<br /><br />Stretched across multiple decades, Sky Gamblers: Cold War takes advantage of the passing of time – and the progress of aeronautical technology – to place you in ever-improving aircraft over 12 missions. Great sequences include one in which you man a helicopter gun, plus another wherein you'll covertly snap pictures of enemy strongholds from the upper atmosphere. But despite those welcome distractions, the majority of Cold War's missions are brief dogfighting encounters without much emotion. And beyond the obvious visual changes between aircraft, a jet from the '60s feels exactly the same as a jet from the late '80s in practice.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/files/u325188/2013/07/screen_37.png" width="620" height="465" /></p><p>The story is weakly presented in short, text-only briefings prior to each stage. During your airborne skirmishes with the Soviets, quick snippets of poorly written dialogue attempt to flesh out a confusing tale without any real substance. And strangely, Cold War's environments and even the details of the interface are a noticeable downgrade from last year's Sky Gamblers: Air Supremacy, which was memorably glossy and refined.<br /><br />After the brief campaign has ended, Cold War does offer a number of enjoyable single-player and multiplayer game modes to stretch out the action. The offline dogfights are a fair experience, but online play – whether protecting a base, or just shooting it out in deathmatch battles – retains the series' penchant for quality. Blasting opponents out of the sky is great, thanks in no small part to a decent control scheme that lets you stay in command even as things get chaotic.<br /><br /><strong>The bottom line</strong>. While there's something to be said for Cold War's new gameplay elements and decent multiplayer, the Sky Gamblers series appears to have entered a deep freeze.</p><fieldset class="fieldgroup group-the-bottom-line"><legend>Review Synopsis</legend><div class="field field-type-text field-field-product">

<!--paging_filter--><p><img src="/files/u220903/iphone_airplane_mode_200px.png" alt="iPhone Airplane Mode" width="200" height="150" class="graphic-right" />Could your iPhone really send an airplane miles off course? At least one pilot thinks so as government regulators weigh the effects of smartphones and tablets being left on during takeoff and landing.<br /><br />As the debate rages within the aviation industry, <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-05-15/turning-off-iphone-critical-to-pilots-citing-interference.html" target="_blank">Bloomberg reported Wednesday</a> that an iPhone left on during a regional flight caused enough interference to make compasses go haywire.<br /><br />According to a NASA Aviation Safety Reporting System report, the 2011 incident claims the small jet experienced an issue while climbing past 9,000 feet, in turn sending the plane "several miles" off course. The brief crisis was allegedly resolved when a flight attendant asked a passenger seated in the ninth row to turn off their iPhone.<br /><br />“The timing of the cellphone being turned off coincided with the moment where our heading problem was solved,” an unnamed co-pilot remarked.<br /><br />While many people believe that smartphones, tablets and other electronics have no impact on airline equipment, lab tests conducted by NASA, airplane manufacturer Boeing and the Civil Aviation Authority in the U.K. have proven otherwise.<br /><br />In January, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) established a committee to investigate the phenomenon, with the results to be revealed in July. Those findings could impact when airlines allow the use of portable electronics in the future, which is currently restricted during takeoff and landing.<br /><br /><em>Follow this article’s author, <a href="http://twitter.com/JRBTempe" target="_blank">J.R.

But if not, today is your lucky day, as the developer has introduced an all-new free version of FlightTrack for iOS and Android.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mobiata.com/apps/flighttrackfree-iphone" target="_blank">Mobiata has announced</a> the release of <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flighttrack-free/id547837352?mt=8" target="_blank">FlightTrack Free</a>, a complete redesign of the paid FlightTrack and FlightTrack Pro apps for iOS and Android which now integrates flight details and flight maps.<br /><br />FlightTrack ($4.99) and FlightTrack Pro ($9.99) have been the top-grossing travel apps since their launch nearly four years ago and are considered a 'must have' app for travelers. In addition to now being free, the app has been completely re-designed with a new user interface, and is the most user friendly and attractive design yet.<br /><br />The app features real-time departure and arrival information, delays, gate numbers and baggage claim info as well as zoomable maps with satellite imagery. FlightTrack Free covers more than 16,000 airports around the world, with full international flight coverage from 1,400 airlines.<br /><br /><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flighttrack-free/id547837352?mt=8" target="_blank">FlightTrack Free</a> is now available from the App Store, and also Google Play for Android users; unlike previous versions of FlightTrack, the iPhone app is not a universal build, although it is compatible with any iPad running iOS 5.0 or higher.<br /><br /><em>Follow this article’s author, <a href="http://twitter.com/JRBTempe" target="_blank">J.R.

<!--paging_filter--><p>Z2Live's Metalstorm: Online is going to get a makeover. We caught up with Lou Fasulo, COO of Z2Live, at PAX 2011 to check out a preview of Metalstorm: Wingman which is more than an update. The first of several chapters will be unveiled soon for iOS and include a new story, new games, and new modes.<br /><br />The game introduces the "wingman", your aid in battle. You get to choose your wingman for each mission from your friends list. And although they won't be actively playing with you in real time, they get credit for the mission. Since you'll want to pick the players with the best scores, everyone on your friends list will be pushing to be their best…including you.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/files/u307916/2011/Online/metalstorm.jpg" width="620" height="465" /></p><p>New planes will be introduced as well, and Fasulo said that some of these planes will take the Metalstorm technology into the future. The planes we saw not only had some neat features, but great graphics. There are three new swipes for maneuvering your plane as well. Barrel roll to the right and left, 90 degree up, and 180 degree over so you don't have to tilt the screen to get the same effect.<br /><br />Another cool feature added is Apple Airplay. Because Airplay Mirroring displays anything that appears on your iPad onto your TV screen via the latest Apple TV, Mac Mini, or HDMI cable, you can now use your iPad as a gamepad of sorts while viewing the graphics in full on your TV.</p><p>Right now there is a campaign mode, a co-op (survival) mode, and 1v1 mode with voice chat. But Z2Live is intending on expanding the modes available, and is already considering 2v2 and free for all. The game will be launched as a freemium title with in-app purchases for in-game currency used to upgrade planes and add ammo.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/files/u307916/2011/Online/metalstorm_2.jpg" width="620" height="465" /></p><p>Fasulo had some creative ideas that the company can't disclose yet about the game, but he did say that they will continue to create more content in the form of planes, episodes, and more. Demand coming from the community is very important, he said.<br /><br />Z2Live launched their first title, Trade Nations, in 2010 onto the App Store. Playable on both iPhone/iPod touch and iPad, Trade Nations takes the concepts of Farmville to a much friendlier level. You'll grow your village into large cities, harvest resources, and create goods, but trading goods and services with your friends is not required to do so…only to make things go faster or larger. <br /><br />We checked out the recently released update to Trade Nations which included a Far East component. Now you can trade pandas, grow cherry trees, and build Zen Gardens among other things. The gold and XP bonus cap was increased as well.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/files/u307916/2011/Online/metalstorm_3.jpg" width="620" height="465" /></p><p>Game Center support is also coming soon to Trade Nations. Adding Game Center represented a challenge to Z2Live, because Apple allows you to change your name at any time. Z2Live had to find a way to keep names connected with accounts within the game. <br /><br />Lastly, Z2Live announced that they were launching Battle Nations in the fall. They call it an empire builder…think economic sim meets strategy. The game will use a totally new engine from Trade Nations and is intended for higher end devices using OpenGL 2.0 and above because of the richer graphics. You'll be able to play PvP and co-op within the game, as well as there being a single-player campaign. Because the game is at in-house beta, all we got to see was an opening page screen shot.<br /><br />Z2Live is also known for their Play2Change initiative in which purchasing virtual wells in-game translates into purchasing real wells in developing nations that need clean drinking water. To date, players have purchased 5300 virtual wells, equating to 5 real ones helping approximately 2000 people.&nbsp; <br /><br />Fasulo admits that he didn't think that the iPad was much of a device for serious gaming in the beginning. But he says the first time he hooked it up to his television and started using the iPad as a controller, that, "Changed everything". He really felt it turned the iPad into more of a social device for gaming, providing not just a mechanism for playing the game, but for communicating with other gamers at the same time.</p>http://www.maclife.com/article/news/pax_2011_z2lives_metalstorm_gets_makeover_wingman#commentsNewsAppLifearcade shooterflightgame centeriOSPAXPAX 2011Play2ChangeZ2LiveiPadiPhoneiPodTue, 30 Aug 2011 17:50:58 +0000Omaha Sternberg12210 at http://www.maclife.comAmerican Airlines Trading Paper for iPadshttp://www.maclife.com/article/news/american_airlines_trading_paper_ipads
